As India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi says he revoked Kashmir's autonomy to free the region from terrorism and separatism, we hear from a Kashmiri politician who is not convinced.

Also on the programme: Hundreds of people are detained in immigration raids in the American state of Mississippi; and with talk of an Afghan peace deal in the air, we have a rare interview with the Taliban.
